The aim was to make steady progress towards the summit. Setting a record is like climbing one of the world\u2019s highest mountains; it takes months of planning, recruiting the right team, putting the resources in place\u2026 and then the ascent is made slowly, with steady progress towards the goal. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The stadium picture\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/a79ad27c-05fe-4a43-a71f-92d69f1fbcba.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>Just like such an expedition, not everyone in the party can make it to the summit but they are still an invaluable part of the team, and the success of the group could not have happen without them. Overnight 2 more people were sat down from the load, hard decisions that had to be made for the sake of the commitment to the majority to set a record. It\u2019s hoped that we can get a  record and then bring at least some of these people back, as happened the previous record in 2010. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Last jump of the day, with the formation defined but not gripped\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/553ea472-ae9e-4798-8aaf-a236779b1dd3.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>##Goals<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>So the aims of the day were: for everyone to have a chance to see the big picture; what everything looked like with so many people in the sky, coming from 7 different aircraft (3 sky vans and 4 Twin Otters); for the pilots to practice and hone their formation to give us the best chance; for participants to make equipment changes so they are in the middle of their fall rate range (adjusting weights, jumpsuits, overarms etc); for the organizers to try out their planned slotting for everyone and make changes where necessary; for everyone to get used to the big-way routine with extras like oxygen hoses and radios; for the team to learn to fly together to make a large stadium, to pre-build the formation, forming good tracking teams and developing safe canopy flying skills with so many parachutes in the air. All of these were achieved in just 4 skydives and a lot of groundwork.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Exit timing, counting down with fingers to duplicate Dan's count on the radio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/8686eecf-6f98-42ee-ab81-c291e67d3d26.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>##Equipment<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Every plane has two skydivers wearing radios, they can hear Dan BC\u2019s count down from 10 to Ready &#8211; Set &#8211; Go, and relay those to their aircraft so everyone can leave with perfect timing, closer than would be possible with visual only. Here\u2019s a bizarre story \u2013 Zak, one of the jumpers went into freefall trailing a very long oxygen hose, he pulled the whole caboodle out instead of just his personal plug-in piece. He pulled it off for safety reasons and made the skydive\u2026 when he landed, the oxygen hose hit the ground right next to him! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The group in the right trail Skyvan\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/ed5f40bc-eb64-49b8-afa7-e4d3c2c59d76.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>##Record Attempts Tomorrow<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Only a limited number of people were given permission to dock; the majority were flying no contact around the base, aiming to show the separate lines of the intended formation.
